Just putting it out there, but I have worked in a lot of places over the years and reading between the lines on blizzards post re the wii:
Nintendo are committed to gaming - this means Nintendo have deep pockets, and are bringing more to the table than Sony or Microsoft.
Nintendo are obviously looking for a big ip to come to the wii. The only ones that have had much success on it are other Nintendo games, and they have all been used up.
I don't really see blizzard staff wanting to do this on the wii, the poor hardware, lack of storage (how they gonna provide updates to a dvdrom based system with no storage capacity?)
And how the frock will diablo work with motion controls? I have worn out the clickers on mice with diablo2, what will waving a wii stick every time I wanna cast magic missile do to my elbows?
This just seems to be a bad decision to me.
Maybe blizzard is rotting from the top, as many good developers do.
I really hope this is not the case, but I defiantly fear it.
Edit: how do you defiantly fear something? Deffinately mind boggling.
My brother just raised a good point, if the game is shred between platforms, and can be updated on the wii, will that hold back content/patches on the pc version? Or will they seperate the players from mixing.
Personally.. i am really looking forward to the Wii version of the game, I hope they update the game once the Wii U is out though, would be cool being able to use the Wii u screen for inventory or something similar.
